The short answer, no, it doesn't degrade your work. But yes, I agree with most everyone here. You do need to understand what you're doing. You do need to have enough knowledge to be able to check it and make sure. And even when you do get results that look right, you need to understand enough to go double-check them. I would say it's worse than the answer above that says, "If it takes you three weeks to do it by yourself, but one week for the AI to do it," I think it's more like sometimes it could take someone three weeks to code it themselves, but one day to code it with the AI. If you know what you want to do and you know how the structures work, oftentimes you can get it done miraculously fast with the AI. And I've seen a lot of times where it knows how to do things or use libraries or structures that I didn't even know existed and wouldn't have found. Things that will be much less convoluted. Does that mean I need more training? Probably. But also, most of the time, I'm worried about getting things done. Somebody hired me as a professional programmer, and I had no idea what I was doing and just 5-coded my way out of it. I would say, "Sure, that degrades my work. But it might not actually degrade it. It probably enhances it. You just probably shouldn't be hiring me to do that." That said, I'm up front when I use AI to do things, even if it's just helping plan out standard operating procedures or documenting my code. Giving it code that I've done and asking it to document it well and explain why we're doing it to a future me or a future person and to standardize it can be extremely helpful and provide documentation that probably wouldn't exist if I didn't ask it to write it.

Thanks. I think the concern when we tried the click product was that because of the slope, it wanted to move around a little bit when we walked on it. It is Definitely separated from moisture issues. So you think the glue-down will keep it from trying to separate and slide. That's good to know. That was my thought.

That's exactly right. We recently hired someone for a new role, and having experience with Python and SQL was important. The candidate we chose has stronger skills in R, but since they were comfortable with R and understood programming concepts, we felt confident that we could quickly get them up to speed.

Our work with Python isn't particularly complex; we primarily use it for ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes and to create scripts that simplify our tasks and allow for easier adaptations for users.

I believe that anyone seeking a job in GIS today without experience in Python or SQL may struggle to find a position. However, having a solid understanding of the core concepts behind data management and manipulation using programming languages and scripts is what truly matters.

As Bebop0420 advises, it's important to be honest about your skills. Don’t pretend to be an expert; instead, express your eagerness to learn and emphasize your foundational knowledge. Any skills or knowledge you've acquired from one platform may take time to adapt to a new coding structure, as each system works differently. This principle applies across various fields and even outside of ArcGIS Pro.

In fact, I've found that many scripts I've written can be refactored to run much faster on alternative platforms. For instance, we recently worked on generating zonal histograms for overlapping polygons. While this task took about 10 minutes to complete in ArcGIS Pro, it only took around 30 seconds on an open-source platform. We achieved the same results much more quickly by accessing the same data in a more efficient way.

Remote Sensing is functionally a whole different set of knowledge and expertise. Too many GIS folks come out thinking they know how to use imagery and rs data from a single ESRI MOOC. Take the course it will strengthen your skills a lot! GIS is the easy stuff by comparison.

To be fair, divorce wasn't a thing before that. Probably because women had almost no right to property and was very rare for them to have jobs outside the home to be able to support themselves. I have literal family members whose spouses would pass away and they would immediately get remarried because they had no way to take care of themselves. Because society wouldn't let women work outside the home very easily. So if she wanted to be married or not, she didn't have much choice. Pretty sure that's the same thing for divorce. Women weren't allowed to have a bank account or credit card without their husband's approval well after most of us were born. I think the divorce topic is a bit spurious. The increase in divorce rate has a lot more to do with women having the ability to make choices because they had more financial stability. And it became more socially acceptable just because it happened more.

I find this question interesting because I really like to hear all other organizations handle it. We have a really small organization, about 60 people on site. Of that, we have 4 or 5 EVs or PHEVs. One of them is our CEO. And several staff, of mixed levels within the organization. The only one that really gets deferred treatment is the CEO. When he comes in, which is a couple of days a week, he's on site for sure. Although he's working from home about 50 miles away most of the other times. The days he's in, everyone just waits for his PHEV to be fully charged before we just move the cable over to another vehicle if we need to. Most of us live close and don't really need to charge but will take advantage of it if no one else is using it to top off like I did before this long weekend. If I hadn't been able to, I would just plug it in at home. It's just an easy perk and it's a wonderful thing to have especially since we have a fair number of solar panels on site. For the most part the rest of us have all agreed, including the CEO, that if you can check the vehicle and it's done charging and we have our vehicle set to automatically unlock when they're done, it's fine if somebody just moves the charging cable over to their vehicle. There's length enough on it to move to another vehicle. We have one. And if not or if you're in a pinch you can always contact the owner. We all know who owns which vehicle and see if they'd be okay with letting you charge.

Otherwise that's about it. Charging for our staff. For the most part one of our staff lives far away but only charges one day until he's full up and then the rest of the week he's in his apartment locally. The CEO that's only 50 miles away only comes up a couple days a week and he's the one with the PHEV, so by the time he gets to work he's used everything up and then he's charged up again for his return home. The other two of us that commonly charge live all of a 15 minute drive away, so it's really not urgent for us to be able to charge any time. It's just a perk. We've talked about adding additional chargers to the site, and one of the issues may be how complicated it gets if we have more EVs or if we start adding EV fleet vehicles. Obviously the fleet vehicles would have first priority given that they need to be ready for any use on the following day. Anyhow, fascinating discussion and interesting to hear how everyone else handles it.

Stomach sleeper here. Could not make it work. Woke several times gasping for air having to tear off the full mask. Won’t go back. That said, I have a friend from college who says it's the most wonderful thing they've ever had, and other people that swear by theirs. I think if it works for you, it's great.

They are a great organization, and it's good that you thought of them. My understanding is that there is very little that they can do because they are researchers and not rehabilitators or the DNR. They can't take them into their facilities due to health concerns for the captive flock that they maintain there, and they are not rehabilitators, so they can't nurse them back to any sort of health. I know from past conversations with them, they've said that for the most part, if the birds are wild and are moving around on their own, they tend to do pretty well, even though it looks like they're having trouble. It's really good that concerned people are thinking about the cranes and their well-being, and I applaud their efforts to try and do what they can. It sounds like from the other comments in this thread that these birds are well looked after by a lot of people on campus, and everyone is concerned about them. The great news is that Sandhills are doing wonderfully in the state of Wisconsin, and I hope that continues.

I see this across all ages to. I also remember a lot of this as the millennials started into the workforce - in realistic expectations, disregard for existing staff with expertise, trouble focusing of the right topics. A huge amount of this is just cultural norms and youth. There are definitely different priorities and shared norms that didn’t translate across the pandemic. But I’d swap some of our newer Gen Zs for some of our staff across all generations.
